Could it be that the pre-selling is partly because Compassion has to be paid before a certain date each month and the superblock has some variation in terms of it's date?
I support the coin and Rob too, but motive on pre-selling is not an excuse for:
1) Lack of disclosure
2) Insults when questioned about something so vital to the mission of the coin
I personally believe Rob did not financially benefit from this and did this in the best interest of the charitable funds that were raised, but there needs to be far more disclosure for the community at large to take us seriously. It's small incidents like this that make it more understandable why we're viewed by some critics as a scam coin. However, I do believe the records support our charitable expenditures and the critics are incorrect, but any ammunition for them such as this is not good.
